The Oisnitzbach (also the Oisnitz ) is a left bank tributary of the Stainzbach in the Austrian state of Styria . The stream rises in the municipality of Lannach and flows 18 kilometers before the Stainzbach joins the Laßnitz .

course

The Oisnitzbach rises in a forest near Breitenbach in western Styria and passes under the Wieserbahn line for the first time after the Neuwiese district . It passes the community center of Lannach with the train station and from there forms a roughly south-east running valley, which is completely crossed by the train route. Soon after, the Oisnitzbach forms the municipal boundary between Lannach and Dobl-Zwaring and is accompanied on both sides by Riedeln . In the municipality of Sankt Josef (West Styria) , where the valley reaches its greatest width, the stream flows through the village of the same name, Oisnitz. Between Wetzelsdorfberg on the right and Klockerberg on the left, the valley narrows to the Oisnitzgraben. At Wieselsdorf the stream emerges into the wide Stainztal. Shortly after it has taken up its largest feeder, the Tobisbach, the Oisnitzbach joins the Stainzbach south of the GKB train station Preding-Wieselsdorf.

Natural and cultural landscape

Apart from the initial forest, the Oisnitzbach flows through exclusively agricultural open land and settlement areas. The course of the stream was largely regulated in the first half of the 1980s and has dense vegetation along the entire stretch of the river. In the local area of ​​Lannach, the municipal environmental protection department and the nature conservation association organized a planting campaign along the banks of the stream for the first time in 1986. Local trees and shrubs were planted, including black alder , bird cherry and ash near the water , and some distance away black and red elder , winter linden and sycamore maple .

On July 31, 2009, the otherwise calm brook burst its banks as a result of heavy rain in Lannach and Oisnitz. Several roads and bridges were flooded, there were small mudslides on the slopes, and two people had to be evacuated. As part of a study in 2011, specimens of the Huchen were found in the Oisnitzbach.
